Cielo Rooftop in Marbella by Florentine

Mountain views, candlelit cocktails, and Mediterranean cuisine on Marbella's Golden Mile.

Cielo Rooftop sits above Florentine Marbella on the Golden Mile, one of the city's most stylish restaurants, offering an elegant evening terrace with mountain views and Mediterranean breezes.

This rooftop is open to the public, welcoming both diners and guests just coming for drinks.

What makes Cielo special is the seamless blend of refined atmosphere, creative cuisine, and that golden-hour light that makes every evening feel like an occasion.

Best For

  • Couples looking for a romantic Marbella dinner spot
  • Friends meeting for cocktails before a night out
  • Travellers seeking a rooftop with both food and drinks

Not Ideal For

  • Daytime pool-goers (no pool access)
  • Budget travellers (pricing is premium)

The Vibe

Cielo feels like a polished extension of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

The design features sleek wood decking, candle-lit tables, and lounge seating framed by potted palms. It is stylish without trying too hard.

By early evening, the bar fills with a mix of Marbella locals, expats, and travellers looking for sunset cocktails before dinner.

The soundtrack leans toward Balearic beats, building a relaxed yet refined mood that works equally well for a date night or a pre-party gathering.

The atmosphere builds as the sun drops, transitioning from golden-hour aperitifs to intimate dinner conversations under string lights.

It is the sort of place where you plan to stay for one drink and end up ordering a second bottle of wine.

The View & Seating

From Cielo, the view sweeps across Marbella's rooftops toward the Mediterranean, with golden-hour light spilling across the sea. The mountains frame the backdrop, adding depth to the coastal panorama.

Seating options include:

  • Intimate two-person tables along the terrace edge (best for couples)
  • Larger communal tables in the centre for groups
  • Cushioned lounge areas for cocktails-only nights
  • Bar seating for solo visitors or casual drinks

The terrace fills up quickly during sunset hours, so arriving early or booking ahead secures the best spots.

How to Make a Reservation

Reservations are strongly recommended for dinner and sunset hours, especially in July and August. Walk-ins are more likely to be seated during weekdays or shoulder seasons.

Book directly through the Florentine website or call ahead to secure your table. Mentioning a preference for terrace-edge seating when booking can help, though it is not guaranteed.

Golden Hour at Puerto Banús

The glamorous marina comes alive at sunset when superyachts glitter and the waterfront restaurants fill up. This is where Marbella's famous luxury lifestyle is on full display.

Walk the harbour around 7pm when the yachts are lit up but the crowds haven't peaked. The western end is quieter and offers better sunset views.

Where to Stay

H10 Andalucía Plaza - Walking distance to Puerto Banús with its own rooftop bar. Get the sunset twice - at the port and from your hotel.
